Satsuma Mandarin Tree (Semi-dwarf) (Potted)

One of the most cold hardy mandarin trees, tolerating temperatures in the mid-twenties but the fruit can be damaged by cold temps and so is often picked before drastic cold, or the trees are covered with frost blankets to keep the thin skinned fruit from freezing until harvest is complete. Slow growing at first, but well worth the wait. Seedless, easy to peel mandarin ripens in December and January. Classic northern California variety popular in the foothills below the Sierra Range.

• USDA Zones: 9-10 (protect when temperature falls below 28°F)
• Protect Below: 28°F
• Harvest Time: Winter

About Our Citrus

Add a little zest to your garden! Citrus trees are potted, evergreen, semi-dwarf, 1 ½-years-old, pencil caliper, 12”-18” tall measured from the bottom of the pot to the top of the tree. They will, with good care, produce fragrant, self-pollinating flowers and wonderful fruit. Mature height is 6’–10’, but can be pruned to suit in ground or in containers.

Choose a sunny location, in well drained soil, sheltered from wind. They are affected by freezing temperatures, and in many locales require frost protection.

Order by Thursday to ship the following Wednesday. Shipping is $19.99 for up to 12 citrus trees. Citrus cannot ship with other potted trees. These are evergreen trees and thus the dormant bare root guarantee does not apply. Your trees will arrive in good, viable condition. Contact us immediately if they do not. Non-taxable.

Note: Citrus cannot ship during periods of very cold or very hot temperatures. Trees can ship between April through June and September through November.
